BRITISH RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE DEPOTS, WORKS AND STABLING POINTS.

Photographs in this gallery are of locomotive depots, both steam and diesel, locomotive works, stabling points and withdrawn locomotives but not those being scrapped.

EASTLEIGH WORKS (ZG) - A shot from the Works' Open Day on May 13th, 1973. The object of interest here is EMU Class PEP No.4001. Built in 1971 by BREL York, they were entered service in 1973 and were the forerunners of the British Rail Second Generation electric multiple unit fleet. Three units were built, one two-car unit (2001), and two four-car units (4001/4002). They were later reclassified as Class 445 (4PEP) and Class 446 (2PEP). Internal layout was for commuter services; low-backed, bus-style 2+2 seating in open saloons, wide gangways with hanging straps, and no lavatory facilities. They were the first electric multiple units designed by British Rail with electric sliding doors, outside the Scottish Region. They were unable to operate with any other stock due to their new coupling system. In passenger use, they normally operated together as a ten-car formation. The Class 446 unit was withdrawn from traffic in August 1974, while the two Class 445.s were officially withdrawn from revenue service in May 1977. After the units were withdrawn from passenger service, they continued to be used by the Research department for further tests. The two Class 446 power cars were teamed with a newly built pantograph trailer and became TOPS Class 920, number 920001. This was then used for the development of Classes 313-315. The two Class 445 four car sets became TOPS Class 935, numbered 056 and 057 in the Southern Region departmental unit series. 056 saw little use, being stored at Wimbledon Park until June 1980, when it was transferred to the Railway Technical Centre at Derby, while 057 was used as a testbed for a number of new bogie designs between 1979 and 1983. All three units were finally taken out of use in the mid-1980's. None of the cars has survived; 920001 was scrapped in 1987, 056 in 1986 and 057 in 1990.

  • EAST DEREHAM LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - The little two-road engine shed at Dereham in 1937 with Class J15 0-6-0 No.7550 and Class F3 'Gobbler' No.8049 standing outside. Small running sheds like this were scattered about all over the country.
  • EAST DEREHAM LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - The little two-road engine shed at Dereham in the 1930's, inhabitants well hidden. Small running sheds like this were scattered about all over the country, particularly in the less populous parts. Note the substantial signal box in the left.
  • EAST DEREHAM LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - The little two-road engine shed at Dereham in the 1930's with a Class J15 0-6-0 and Class F3 'Gobbler' No.8049 and another behind standing outside. Small running sheds like this were scattered about all over the country.
  • EASTLEIGH LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT (ELH/71A/70D) - This large depot was opened by the LSWR in 1903 with the code ELH. It was a very large 15-road through shed, brick built, on the east side of the line adjacent to the Works site. Even as late as May 1965 it boasted an allocation of 103 steam engines, not very many of them of SR origin. In addition to 5 Class USA 0-6-0T's for shunting duties in Southampton Docks, the depot was home to 15 LMS/BR tank engines, 47 BR Standard Mixed Traffic 2-6-0's and 4-6-0's and 36 West Country/Battle of Britain Pacific's. The steam depot closed in July 1967 and was replaced by a much smaller diesel depot built in 1958 nearby. By 1965, this two-road shed had expanded to 8 roads, home to shunters of Classes 08 & 09 and Class 33 and 73 locomotives. As of 2018, the depot is still open, operated by Arriva Traincare servicing Cross Country Voyagers. Seen here in 1930 is Beattie LSWR Class 330 0-6-0ST No.0128, withdrawn in 1931. The '0' before the number indicates that it was on the Duplicate List, where old engines were placed when their number was required for a modern engine. This one had been on it since 1911!

  • EASTLEIGH WORKS (ZG) - Class 07 was a class of 14 engines built by Ruston & Hornsby of Lincoln to shunt in the docks and ports of the south coast with short wheelbases for sharp bends.
